[Rd] Could not create DVI version

[Prof Brian Ripley]

I can run R CMD check with current CVS version of R on dse_2003.3-1 on
Solaris 8 successfully (using gcc 3.2, but that's not relevant here).

There is

  est.wt.variables                  text    html    latex
     missing link(s):  est.min.sqerror

but that's a long-standing error in your packages.


This does look like a problem in your Solaris setup.

                        ^ 
I get

**\nonstopmode{}\input{setRNG-manual.tex}

so something is wrong.
